[PKG-Openstack-devel] Bug#856856: cobbler-web: Doesn't run out of the box with Django 1.10

[Tim Small]

Package: cobbler-web
Version: 2.6.6+dfsg1-13
Severity: important

The cobbler-web package appears to assume an earlier django version and
breaks on version 1.10 which is currently in Stretch.  500 Server error.

I've made the following changes in an effort to workaround, but given up
as didn't look like it was going to be a quick fix...  Haven't checked
upstream git to see if this has already been done...

in  /usr/share/cobbler-common/web/settings.py


TEMPLATES = [
    {
        'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
        'DIRS': [
            '/usr/share/cobbler/web/templates',
        ],
        'APP_DIRS': True,
        'OPTIONS': {
            'context_processors': [
                'django.core.context_processors.request',
            ],
        },
    },
]

ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['cobbler.mydomain']

and have commented out:

#from django.conf.global_settings import TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS
#
#TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS += (
#     'django.core.context_processors.request',
#)

In /usr/share/cobbler-common/web/urls.py :


from django.conf.urls import include, url

urlpatterns=[
    url(r'^', include('cobbler_web.urls')),
]
